Description:
 The l2tp_ip6_getname function in net/l2tp/l2tp_ip6.c in the Linux kernel
 before 3.6 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows
 local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a
 crafted application.
Ubuntu-Description:
 Mathias Krause discovered an information leak in the Linux kernel's
 implementation of getsockname for Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP).
 A local user could exploit this flaw to examine some of the kernel's
 stack memory.
